The process of browning is done to caramelize the natural sugars in the meat, creating a crisp, flavorful layer on the outside.


Preparation
1
Begin by brushing the meat to be roasted with extra virgin olive oil.
2
Put it in a very hot, non-stick pan without oil.
3
If necessary, add a little oil directly onto the meat during cooking.
4
Initially, keep the heat high and then adjust it during cooking.
5
Tilt the pan back and forth so that the oil slides over the surface of the meat and the pan.
6
From time to time press down on the meat and flip it using tongs, being careful not to puncture it.
7
The meat should be uniform in color.
8
Salt the meat only at the end of cooking so that it doesn’t release its juices.
9
Follow the same steps to brown a fillet.
10
The browning process is done when the fillet is a light brown, hazelnut color.
